Use:
gtk_style_context_add_class (gtk_widget_get_style_context (entry),
GTK_STYLE_CLASS_ERROR);
Themes will usually honour this style class for entries, and will set
a red "glow" around it.
Alternatively, use a custom CSS snippet by using a GtkCssProvider
associated with the default screen, and define your own error class,
e.g.
.error-entry { background-color: red; }
provider = gtk_css_provider_new ();
gtk_css_provider_load_from_data (provider, css_definitions, -1, NULL);
gtk_style_context_add_provider_for_screen (gdk_screen_get_default (),
provider, GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_APPLICATION);
Then add and remove the "error-entry" style class on the GtkEntry as
appropriate.
My strong suggestion is not not hijack the style machinery for this
case, and use the system already in place.
Ciao,
Emmanuele.
